Valentine’s Day Food Gifts Under $50

As George Bernard Shaw once said, “there is no love sincerer than the love of food.” Which is exactly why we say skip the overpriced roses for her and ditch the cologne for him and instead give your Valentine what he or she really wants: chocolate, pasta, and other treats they’ll probably dig into immediately after unwrapping. Plus, all of these Valentine Day food gift ideas are under $50 (we can’t say the same for a bouquet of flowers—that gets expensive, fast). Below, the best Valentine’s Day gifts that won’t break the bank and will hopefully inspire your love to share.

If the recipient of this gift is displeased, you must dump them immediately.
